How exactly does DiHexa work?
Does anybody know?
I'm assuming it mimics some messenger molecule that persuades a synapse to form.
Wouldn't it make sense to stack diHexa with noots that promote axon/dendrite growth? I don't see a huge benefit in increased synapses if
they are only reinforcing existing connections...
But I have read that PNNs and myelination inhibit formation of new dendrite/axon structure. So does it even make sense to target neurite growth without first addressing these?
Also, wouldn't it make sense to stack dihexa with something that increases spontaneous neuron-firing? This would give new synapses the chance to build some strength before getting pruned through experience. If they are just getting created but not strengthened, aren't they just going to disappear within hours of forming?
Wouldn't there be some logical sequence?
- First disable brakes on neurite growth.
- Then promote neurite growth.
- Then promote synapse growth.
- Then promote spontaneous firing.
Is any of this even close to making some sense? I would love to hear from someone that has looked into these things...
